Explanation

A professional forensic report should include an executive summary, including a description of the incident and the overall findings. The written report needs to be factually accurate and free from speculation or bias, meaning that an analyst's unverified or unsubstantiated opinions should not be included in the report. Beyond the executive summary, the detailed report should include a description of the data preserved, a detailed explanation of the procedures performed, and a summary of the facts. Disciplinary action, if needed, would be addressed through other channels and not included in the forensic analyst's report.
